Stadthuys, Melaka Red Building Pictures
If you visited Melaka, you will definitely sure taken pictures in front of the Stadthuys. It is the most iconic structure in the city engraved with history and culture. The Stadthuys means city hall in old Dutch spelling or also known as Red Square. To many tourists, they simply named it as the Melaka famous red buildings!
It was built by the Dutch in 1650 as the office of the Dutch Governor and the deputy after occupying the city over the Portuguese. It was then handed over to the British in the 19th century and survived the 2nd World War.
